Community Engagement
Yorkshire Beacon
Go Racing In Yorkshire in conjunction with Racing Together has launched a new community and education ‘beacon’ programme.
Based on the beacon models run by Newmarket and Aintree, the Yorkshire beacon will be working with the county’s racing assets to put beneficiaries first.
The pilot year will expand community-focused activity in this vibrant racing region and highlight racing as a force for good in society.
